Question

AWS for FMS 4 = Unreliable

Hi,

I purchased an instance of AWS for FMS 4, and it is very un-reliable.

A few times a week, the server will go down, and you need to reboot the server to make it work.

When it was going down, the load on the server was much lower than what it should be capable of supporting.

Expect your applications to go down for many hours, or days, in case it takes you a while to notice the down time!

Anything to do to improve this shit?

    Yup... that's how it goes in shared virtualized environments. The problem there is, you won't know why the server went down... could have been you, could have been your neighbor, could have been cheap commodity hardware crapping out.

    As much as AWS is great for backup and noncritical apps, it is, IMHO, not suitable for any critical production environment. The best answer to your question is to get your own dedicated hardware in a reliable datacenter with immediate response monitoring.
